About us

Everyone is looking for great leaders. Our mission in the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets is to help nurture and create them. This is why our numbers have grown and the reason why exceptional men and women are drawn to be in the Corps in increasing numbers. A significant part of the university since its establishment in 1872, we have evolved into a world-class leader development program, which still understands that at the root of great leaders is great character. This involves more than just classroom work. This is a four-year commitment to strive 24 hours per day, seven days a week to immerse oneself in a residential community focusing on the development of practical, ethical, and leadership skills. Our cadets wear uniforms – not just because of tradition – but because they are making a statement that they have committed to a course of study, a set of high standards, and a way of life to which not all choose to aspire. While many of our graduates go on to distinguished careers in the United States military, a quarter of all cadets, and that number is growing, are here to prepare for challenging and rewarding careers in the public and private sector. Collectively, these young men and women are the people for whom we have been hoping to lead us into the future. The purpose of each cadet is to: Make our communities better; Make our country stronger; and Make the world a better place to live and grow. If you are a friend or an alumnus of Virginia Tech – welcome home! If you are new to our great university and the Corps, we hope this is the start of a fulfilling relationship and a journey toward your own, personal, leadership excellence.

  • We are proud of alums Oliver Nazarian and Andre Asarian for being recognized at the Virginia Tech Student Affairs Aspire! Awards. “Oliver Nazarian embodies a commitment to fostering a culture of respect, inclusion, and selfless service,” said one of his nominators. “His leadership has left a positive mark on Virginia Tech and the Corps of Cadets’ communities.” Oliver credits the corps with helping him find his place at Virginia Tech. Before graduating from the corps last spring, he dedicated himself to serving his community as a student leader and commander. His nominator describes his leadership style as patient and thoughtful, always able to support his peers with empathy and a sense of humor. Andre Asarian's abiding passion for helping others shows in his service as a leader, mentor, and medical provider. As a Defense Civilian Training Corps scholar, undergraduate student senator, academic peer advisor, leader in the Corps of Cadets, and volunteer with multiple local fire and rescue services, Asarian has embodied a steadfast devotion to his roles and commitment to uplifting his peers. Asarian was recognized for his enthusiastic dedication to service, pursuing his passions for medicine and helping others through mentorship and care. Well done!!!
